SUMMER SESSION: COMPENSATION

VERSION 2: 5/30/2014

UC DAVIS SUMMER SESSIONS

Mechanisms for Summer Compensation

Provost’s January 2014 Decisions re Summer Sessions in the Budget Model

Deans have delegated authority for approving summer compensation, adhering to academic personnel policy and monitoring limits of summer compensation. This authority

previously resided with the Summer Sessions office.

The UC Davis ladder salary cap for summer is a prudent guideline but not a rule or policy. Deans have the authority

to determine appropriate compensation within the constraints of UC policies. (The Summer Sessions salary

cap guideline remains $10,400.)



Provost’s January 2014 Decisions re Summer Sessions in the Budget Model (Continued)

All summer session compensation should adhere to the current Summer Sessions formula (2.75 percent per unit taught) to the extent appropriate; this formula is a guideline and not a rule or

policy. Limitations on compensation during the off-duty summer period are outlined in APM660, UCD 660, and APM 661.

Lecturers must be paid according to Article 23 –Summer Sessions of the IX contract and compensation for those in Teaching

Assistants and Associates In titles must follow the compensation formula as bargained in Article 24 –Summer Session of the BX

contract. All other requirements for recruitment and selection for summer sessions positions for these appointees must follow the

article of the contract.



Direct Compensation (Instructors)

• Nine-month Annual Salary (X) # of Units (X) 2.75% = Total compensation per course• For fiscal year faculty, the nine-month equivalent is 84% of the 11-

month salary

• Direct compensation will be adjusted to reflect merit and salary table increases effective July 1. However, time worked in June will be based on the salary effective before July 1



Direct Compensation (Continued)

• All compensation for the summer period must comply with the limits for additional compensation as outlined in APM 660, which is 3/9ths for academic year appointments and 1/11th for fiscal year appointments

Research Accounts• Per Office of the President (OP) guidance, UC Davis

Academic Affairs encourages compensating instructors with salary instead of deposits to research accounts.

Processes


Employee Titles

Fiscal Year Faculty • Faculty having fiscal year appointments (including any

fiscal-year Lecturers with SOE) are to be paid via direct compensation or course substitution

• Please note that all fiscal year faculty must relinquish vacation days equal to one day for every six contact or podium hours with students if choosing the additional compensation option.


Employee Titles

Retired Faculty • Retired faculty may be recalled provided that

they have been separated from the University for at least thirty days• In practice, this means that they cannot teach Summer

Academic Affairs prior to the recall service.• All recalls for summer session teaching must be within the

43% monthly limit for total recall salary


Employee Titles

Recalled Instructors

• Before recall is submitted, calculate total compensation for ALL courses being taught by recalled instructor

• Once current annual salary for recalled instructor is obtained, use the following formula to determine the max monthly allotted amount:• Annual Retirement Salary/9 (X) 43%• Example: if annual is $103,000…

• $103,000/9 (X) .043 = $4,921 maximum monthly amount• If this person is teaching one 4-unit course…

• $103,000 (X) 4 (X) .0275 = $11,330• This amount divided by two = $5,665, which is higher

than $4,921 max monthly amount. If divided by three = $3,777, which is lower than $4,921
